Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading

Han Bin’s final attack was easily resolved with a flick of Lin Bai’s finger.

No one present could tell what he had done in that instant.

Meanwhile, Destin narrowed his eyes. He could feel some changes in the natural elements from the moment Lin Bai attacked.

Could it be that… Lin Bai could control natural elements?

Lin Bai looked at Han Bin, who was already out of strength, and was in no hurry to attack.

This was because he could not tell from Han Bin’s expression that he was at the end of his rope.

On the contrary, Lin Bai had a feeling that Han Bin still had some hidden trump card. As a result, Han Bin’s expression was rather skillful at this moment.

As expected, Han Bin quickly returned to his normal state. The panicked gaze he had used to look at Lin Bai also became calm.

“You really surprised me.” Han Bin praised Lin Bai. However, it was hard to tell if he was speaking the truth or not. “I thought that one fire tiger would be enough to end the battle, but it seems like it’s not enough.”

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed as he nervously placed all his attention on Han Bin.

After all, his opponent was the top Mage. Thus, Lin Bai did not dare to underestimate his opponent.

Suddenly, the magical elements around Han Bin began to revolve crazily. Under Han Bin’s manipulation, the originally invisible elements became faintly visible.

It was a sign that the elements were being mobilized to the extreme!

Following that, a fire tiger took shape once more. However, its high degree of completion made it so vivid and lifelike that it could not be compared to the previous one.

“What is this?!” On the high platform, Caesar slammed the table and stood up. In this public place, he was so shocked that he actually lost his composure. “Such strength is actually comparable to an Ordinary Level-Two Hunter!”

Destin was also a little shocked. The Hunter’s Association had actually missed such a genius.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of strength definitely reached the level of a Hunter.

“Why didn’t Han Bin pass the Hunter Elementary Test back then?” Destin turned his head and asked Caesar, who was sitting on his right.

Caesar scratched his head awkwardly. “According to him, he seemed to have met a strange old woman as his examiner and was eliminated by her.”

Destin thought for a moment and immediately knew who the examiner Caesar was referring to was.

“Was it Old Crane?” Destin smiled and said, “Meeting her can only be considered a matter of luck. With his strength, he would definitely pass the Hunter Elementary Test.”

Meanwhile, in the arena, Lin Bai was also shocked. He did not expect Han Bin to have hidden his strength for so long.

“Are you a Level-2 Hunter?” Lin Bai felt Han Bin’s sudden increase in strength and could not react in time.

Han Bin grinned and said, “I really did not think that I would be forced to this extent in the mere Arena Match. However, Lin Bai, at this point, it is already an honor for you to be defeated by me!”

“It’s over.” Charlotte saw Han Bin reveal his final trump card. Thus, in her eyes, the current Lin Bai had no chance of turning the tables.

However, to be able to perform to this extent, Lin Bai truly did make Charlotte’s jaw drop.

However, what Lin Bai wanted to do was far more than just this.

“Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal, Third Seal!”

White, gray, and green seals appeared once again, creating a spectacular sight.

However, Han Bin was fearless this time.

“Do you only know how to use the same trick…?” Han Bin raised his head and looked at the three seals. A trace of confidence flashed across his eyes, and he looked like he already had a plan up his sleeve.

“I won’t use the same trick twice in front of the same opponent,” said Lin Bai nonchalantly. Afterwards, he changed the method he used to form seals once again, and another seal suddenly appeared in the air.

The temperature in the entire arena instantly dropped, as if Yanluo Wang[1] had descended.

Destin’s gaze grew solemn.

“What a heavy aura of black magic.”

Could it be that this kid had learned a new black magic spell after obtaining the Cleansing Crystal?

When the green seal floated into the air, Han Bin’s face immediately darkened.

Although he could withstand the first three seals, this fourth seal surpassed the combined might of the first three seals!

If all four seals were used at the same time…

He believed that he had no chance of winning.

“I… admit defeat.” Han Bin gritted his teeth and could only say this.

When faced with an opponent that he knew was impossible to defeat, there were times when retreating was the wisest choice.

Everyone fell silent.

All the students in the audience were stunned.

Had Han Bin… admitted defeat?

Moreover, his opponent was Lin Bai — the publicly acknowledged piece of trash.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Caesar pulled himself out of his shock and surprise. Then, he announced, “The champion of this year’s Arena Match is Lin Bai!”

The verdict was final.

Upon hearing his name ring out in the square, Lin Bai’s heart unexpectedly did not waver much.

He still remembered the last time his name was heard in public by so many people. It was on the day he awakened his Class.

That day, his Reader Class was treated as a joke by everyone.

And now, he had used his own strength to prove that the Reader Class was a Class with infinite possibilities!

After Caesar announced the results of the Arena Match, Destin stood up. He coughed a few times and cleared his throat. Then, the whole square became quiet again.

“I suppose everyone knows me.” Destin began to speak.

All the students nodded their heads slightly. However, only Lin Bai felt slightly unconfident.

After all, he really did not know that the president of the Hunter’s Association was Destin, whom he had met in the Death Swamp!

“Many people will wonder why I’m here.” Destin continued. “Actually, it has something to do with the rewards that the winners of this competition will receive.”

“Rewards?” Lin Bai was surprised.

“I’ll now announce the usual rewards for this year’s Arena Match. These are also the rewards that Sorcha College will award according to tradition every year.”

“The Champion, Lin Bai, will obtain 10,000 Gold Coins, as well as a custom-made magic wand.”

“The runner-up, Han Bin, will receive 5,000 Gold Coins, as well as a high-end magic wand.”

“The second runner-up, Locke, will receive 3,000 gold coins, as well as a middle-grade magic wand.”

When Lin Bai heard this, the first thing he noticed was the 10,000 Gold Coins.

Ah. He seemed to have accidentally become rich!

As for the magic wand… It was priceless!

However, Destin showed no signs of stopping. Instead, he continued, “Since there are regular rewards this year, naturally, there will also be something different.”

Upon hearing Destin’s words, everyone waited quietly and listened to what Destin was about to say.

“The top three contestants in the Arena Match will be eligible to enter Constantine College. They will enter the school in a week.”

This time, even Lin Bai could not control himself.

They were eligible to enter Constantine College!

Compared to this, the mere 10,000 Gold Coins was nothing!
